roots Video (MV)

Hear the wood crack as your words hack to the base of me
You are too hurt, I am too hard
Let rising waters decide who to discard
After pieces of me have floated all downstream
All you never wanted will remain summer green
In the rivers of your eyes
I catch you dreaming of blue skies
But the roots run deep in me
Cause to run endlessly
Your hands are raw from the sorrow
Last attempts before you go
But the roots run deep in me
Not even surgery could pull the man from who you see
There was an oak tree. There you kissed me, said, what's to fear, love?
Here in our garden, let me come in
Let sacred waters wash what you name as sin
But all your prayers to god as you sweated blood
Drowned you in the weight of care in the coming flood
In the rivers of your eyes
I catch you dreaming of blue skies
But the roots run deep in me
Cause to run endlessly
Your hands are raw from the sorrow
Last attempts before you go
But the roots run deep in me
Not even surgery could pull the man from who you see
Oh, wake me from the dreams
Where the water drips from rotting beams
And it shudders with the winds unseen
Since you turned your back to me
In the rivers of your eyes,
I catch you dreaming of blue skies
But the roots run deep in me
Cause to run endlessly
Your hands are raw from the sorrow
Last attempts before you go
But the roots run deep in me
Not even surgery could pull the man from who you see
Not even surgery could pull the man from who you see
